On Ubuntu 10.10 GNOME, with the "defaults" of the Network drive 
accessing in place:
I can go to a Network/Windows Network/MSHOME/. . . . computer
and the file name and folder info looks like the following
smb://inspiron1525/a---video-projects/ . . . . . . /index.html
[with all the dots replaced by all of the folder/subfolder path]

I was able to open the file in Kompozer, make modifications, and save 
it.  Of course, I have that "video project" folder on my Vista Laptop 
set up so I can copy files to and from it.

So using Ubuntu 10.10 GNOME and its defaults, and with file permissions 
to the remote folder, I was able to read the file, make edits, and write 
it back to the folder withing an editing package.

So within LibreOffice?  The only thing I see is there is no "Network" in 
the folder list.  I needed to have a network folder saved as a 
"bookmark" in my "Places" menu.  But once I open a file on the remote 
laptop, I can save it to the remote laptop, no problem.

It has to be in your settings, either on Kubuntu or the remote computer.
